DANNI MORGAN THOUGHT SHE KNEW FEAR, BUT SHE IS ABOUT TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS TO BE TRULY AFRAID.
Danni had escaped her abusive father and left behind everything that reminded her of her loving mother, now Danni has to return to the house one more time. She has returned to bury the body of the man that tormented her for so very long. Her past is tinted with the awful memories of what she had to endure while growing up. The things that were done to her, were inhumane to say the least. Her once loving father seemingly had turned into a monster after her mother committed suicide in the farm’s mill. He had abused Dani in every way possible or imaginable.... some were "unimaginable"! To say that she was not interested in going back to that show more awful place would have been the understatement of the entire century.
Her husband had other plans. He thought that if she went back to the farm, one more time and faced her fears, that she would be able to overcome them and leave everything behind once and for all. He had the questionable, less than brilliant idea of staying in that awful nightmare of a house because he was sure that that would help Danni. As soon as the family settles in, weird and scary things start to happen. Alex, the son, swears that he saw a scary old lady with a black smile. The poor child couldn’t even begin to imagine what was about to unfold. The daughter, Leah, then decided that she wanted to take a shower. She quicky changes her mind after seeing a man, standing by the bathroom door, looking at her and giving her a predatory smile.
Guess what? Dear old Jon... I started calling him "the utterly stupid husband", believes that the kids just have an "overactive imagination" and they just need more time to get use to the spooky old house. The "utterly stupid husband" will come to regret ever suggesting going to that "hell hole" of a house. As the story goes on, we learn what truly happen while Danni was growing up. We can also see the true evil that lurks inside that house. The evil that took her mother's life and immediately went after her father and never let him go. If you are thinking about reading this, I have to warn you that the things that were done to Dani are sick by any sane persons understanding and completely unbelievable.
I hated the "utterly stupid husband". Everything that happened to him was SOOO deserved. He was unwilling to see anything for what it was...only as being either "black or white". According to him, everything has a totally "reasonable" explanation. I wanted to shake him until he understood that there are things that science simply CAN NOT explain. Things that we cannot, and I don’t think we ever will be able to comprehend...we just have to accept them, try and avoid them, and move on. I couldn't imagine why he was so willing to put his family in so much danger just to teach them a lesson and to prove a point. The man deserved to meet the evil that lived in that house head on!
And the ending...? I know that it’s a horror story, dah...that’s why I read it, but I totally hated the way it ended. Those two children had had enough, especially the son, He didn't need anything else. That's all I'm going to say about that...only it wasn't the ending that I thought or hoped, would happen.
The story was well written and had the right "number of spooks" that I wanted, but it also had the ability to make me really angry. I believe if you read it, you will completely understand. show less

This book took me for a scary ride! Stayed up late last night finishing the book around one in the morning as it escalated from halfway into the book till the end!
The book is about a woman that attends her fathers funeral and goes back home to the house where she grew up. Her and her family arrive at the home and decided to stay there for a little while.
What she doesn't know is that the house has entities, plus a demonic one that rules the house and property. The storyline and characters grab you from the get go and doesn't let you go till the last page.
I hadn't read this author before, but if the other books are like this one, then I have some more scary reads to look forward to in the future! Five stars for this one!

My original The Demonic audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.
Danni Morgan has returned to her childhood home where her mother left her and her father tortured and molested her. Returning to bury her hated father, Danni brings her supportive husband and two children to her father’s funeral. There she encounters a demonic evil so great and consuming that no one is safe from its touch. No one and her life is about to change yet once again as she faces the demonic evil head on.
I expected this to be scary but the level of horror this audiobook induced is by far greater than any I have heard. I couldn’t put it down! It was refreshingly terrifying!!!! If you enjoy horror – this is the book for you!
Lee show more Mountford built the suspense, horror and mind-numbing terror expertly. When listening to the book and one begins to catch glimpses out of the corner of one's eye of something moving but nothing there … you know it’s truly a work of art!
Hannibal Hills performed the voices with skill. His performance left one shuddering to one’s core when the demonic evil spoke. He was spectacular! His talent carried the terror beyond the pages and gave them a voice.
